Hi everybody

I recently bought this magnificent phone but its locked to "3" :-(
Stupid, stupid mistake..."3" really sucks big time!!
Anyway, now my question is, if I choose to unlock it will I be able to use it with another sim-card? Even if its not a service provider that supports UMTS ?
Please let me know soon. I'd like to be sure before spending 500 DKK approximately 65 € :-(

          the N70 was great and the video are cool compared to other phone. The picture is good but when the lighting condition is not that brigth expect that there is a present of noise on the shot. But i understand that the phone has its weakness and strength in every aspect of it.This phone is nothing but nothing is perfect that is why this phone is perfect for me hehheee. I have a question on this phone. If i loaded this phone a 1gb dv-rsmmc is it possible for it to run what do you think answer me asap so i could buy a 512 or 1 gb memory for my mobile. TNX to all visiting this site.

            You know I was facing the same problem as you? I mean, hey! The 6280 has got only 6 Mb of inner memory and I thought of 6230i (had one). That phone kept on accessing the memory card pretty slow (photos, movies). Good thing it had quite a lot inner memory.

            So my guess is that the 6280 is pretty much the same, except the fact it`s got a 2 Mp camera & videocall (you`ll find my conclusion at the bottom). Moreover, I don`t find sliding mechanisms so reliable. O.K., I never had a phone with a slid.mech. so far, but I can imagine those tiny little parts sliding up and down and again, `till they go from bad to worse (u understand what I`m sayin`?). Plus the photos aren`t that good like those from the N70. A good point is the video shooting, that makes it up to 640x480 (better than N90&Co.&stuff)

            The N70 has got it`s single disadvantage to be operating in Symbian. That costs a lot of energy, but, hmm, there is another true part here: I asked a friend of mine (who`s got the phone for half a year now) how good the battery is, and he told me he talks `bout 1 hour/day and, without using the camera nor playing games, it lasts for 4 complete days . He told me another thing: it bothers him that the phone turns on a bit slower (again the Symbian) and is accessing some applications also a bit slower. I wanted to make sure, borrowed the phone for some minutes and to me - my oppinion - it didn`t seem it worked that slow. The photos are so good, that another friend o` mine (who`s an amateur photographer) said they are as good as the ones shot with an old 2 Mp camera. But, PAY ATTENTION: The best photo quality is caught while not only daylight, but sunlight. During cloudy periods the quality may be just slightly SLIGHTLY worse (trust me). For example, I shot some on the mountain, at a ski resort, while heavy clouds were wandering around. I printed the photos and they are more than O.K. The movies (video shooting) are that good, that it doesn`t bother me watching them in full screen on the PC (I guess 352x288).



            So, the big SO!

            Can you believe that I have spent more than 1/4 years balancing, deciding which of those phones to buy? Often reading magazines, hearing and reading oppinions on forums...

            And decided for the N70. Of course, I have this stupid naive problem with the media key!!! I wrote about it on the forum.

            What`s important: This phone made me more compact. I have good photo camera, good video camera, mobile phone, video phone, radio and all other stuff, at a lower price than usual (for a phone).

              Very Disappointed. I got the phone outright coz I was well overdue for an upgrade and liked my mates new phone. I have a Genuine Nokia Ring tone seleted and the tone crashes as it rings. I took it back coz the firmware was months old and Ive been told its a known problem. All updated to the latest, Still not happy, It still crashes (Keep in mind its a Genuine Nokia tone im using) And gallery close's by itself etc... If you have a spare $800 or whatever to buy a phone, dont get this one, Id love to get my money back and stick to my 7210. ;þ

                  I didn`t want to talk about any other phones other than Nokia, the administrator would`ve kicked our backs .

                  You know I was facing the same problem as you? I mean, hey! The 6280 has got only 6 Mb of inner memory and I thought of 6230i (had one). That phone kept on accessing the memory card pretty slow (photos, movies). Good thing it had quite a lot inner memory.

                  So my guess is that the 6280 is pretty much the same, except the fact it`s got a 2 Mp camera & videocall (you`ll find my Schussfolgerung=conclusion at the bottom ).

Plus the photos aren`t that good like those from the N70. A good point is the video shooting, that makes it up to 640x480 (better than N90&Co.&shit )



                  The W900i has got that - my oppinion - stupid rotating mechanism, that forces one to use both hands... It`s got a HUGE memory card, but I haven`t heard anybody talk about the damn inner (or shared) memory. Probably `cause it doesn`t have one . You can solve the 6280 or the N70 memory with a "HUGE" card as well and, per total, you`ll find it more cheaper... Photos are somewhere between the 6280 and N70. And it`s a big phone, too, especially when it`s open (rotated). O.K., it has much more pixels on the display, but... do you wanna know the truth? The normal human eye doesn`t even make the difference between those kind of displays. 176x208 is pretty much the same like 240x320 (for the human eye). And, it`s a bit more expensive.



                  The N70 has got it`s single disadvantage to be operating in Symbian. That costs a lot of energy, but, hmm, there is another true part here: I asked a friend of mine (who`s got the phone for half a year now) how good the battery is, and he told me he talks `bout 1 hour/day and, without using the camera nor playing games, it lasts for 4 complete days .

                            hey, to the nokia ring tone guy, it doe sit sometimes when you use your own tunes as ringtones. not sure why, usually if its a full song it finds it hard to load and reverts to the default tune. this is random, so try shorter song clips.

                              Hey!I`m in a kind a panic! Since yesterday the media button (vertical, right) refuses to respond. I`ve got the phone for about a week. I tried resetting it, but it`s useless. It`s not that annoying, for I`ve got the warranty, but did it happen to you,too? Could it be, that the button no longer has a good contact to the circuit? P.S.: The phone didn`t fall on the ground so far.
                              Thanks!

                                  This phone is really great. I am very satisfied with all its capacities; BUT I seem to have a problem. From time to time, although I have set differrent sound features for each group, my phone rings with Nokia Tune. I HAVE NOT SET IT FOR ANY GROUP!!! Why is this happening?
